Lyics

JESUS, the spring of joys divine,

Whence all our hopes and comforts flow-

Jesus, no other name but thine

Can save us from eternal wo.



In vain would boasting reason find

The way to happiness and God,

Her weak directions leave the mind

Bewilder'd in a dubious road.



No other name will heaven approve;

Thou art the true, the living way,

Ordain'd by everlasting love

To the bright realms of endless day.



Here let our constant feet abide,

Nor from the heavenly path depart:

O let thy Spirit, gracious Guide!

Direct our steps and cheer our heart.



Safe lead us through this world of night,

And bring us to the blissful plains-

The region of unclouded light,

Where perfect joy forever reigns.
